Dr. Sina Ebnesajjad, 2000, ISBN 978-1-884207-84-6Teflon is synonymous with polytetrafluoroethylene, similarly DuPont is synonymous with the invention, the development, and the manufacture of fluoroplastics. The majority of data and information in this book comes from DuPont which gave extensive support to one of its researchers who decided to write this book.

Giles, Jr., Wagner, Jr., and Mount, III, 2007, ISBN 978-0-8155-1473-2This reference is a practical guide to extrusion including both the equipment and materials processing aspects. It provides basic and advanced topics about thermoplastics processing in the extruder, for reference and training.

R.P. Brown and J.H. Greenwood, 2002, ISBN 978-1-85957-312-9This book will be useful for anyone responsible for designing, manufacturing or testing plastic components. It will also be of benefit to suppliers and users of end products, as assessment of useful lifetime is critical to the economics and safety aspects of any component.

R.J. Crawford and M.P. Kearns, 2003, ISBN 978-1-85957-387-7This book describes the basic aspects of rotational molding and includes information on the latest state of the art developments in the industry. A key feature of the approach is to use photographs wherever possible to illustrate the points that are being made. This book will be useful to those new to the industry, as well as those who are experienced in some aspects of the process.

Professor David Jones, 2004, ISBN 978-1-85957-479-9This review will be of interest to anyone who has an interest in the pharmaceutical use of polymers, whether as a researcher or as a manufacturer of medical devices.

David Eaves, 2004, ISBN 978-1-85957-388-4This Handbook reviews the chemistry, manufacturing methods, properties and applications of the synthetic polymer foams used in most applications. This book will be of interest to those just embarking upon an exploration of the subject of foams, whether in industry or academia. But this will be equally useful to those already working in the field, who need to know about different types of foam.

Peter A Ciullo and Norman Hewitt, 1999, ISBN 0-8155-1434-4This book contains two parts: introduction to the raw materials used in rubber industry and the formulary part where formulations for final products are given.
